W Pals Bushwhack CIA Leak Prosecutor

[Mark E. Smith]

NY Daily News 10/24

WASHINGTON - As the White House and Republicans brace for possible indictments in the CIA leak probe, defenders have launched a not-so-subtle campaign against the prosecutor handling the case.

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things," one White House ally said, referring to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

President Bush recently praised Fitzgerald on NBC's "Today" show, saying: "The special prosecute is conducting a very serious investigation. He's doing it in a very dignified way, by the way, and we'll see what he says."

But now friends of the White House have started whispering that the Brooklyn-raised prosecutor is overzealous after it became clear that Bush political mastermind Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney's chief of staff Lewis (Scooter) Libby, are in Fitzgerald's crosshairs.

Good thing that the article points out that the target of the "vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart" comment was Fitzgerald. I would have automatically figured the reference was to Bush or somebody close to him.

1. Yes, All BushCo Prosecutors & Critics Are VILE!

OMG -- D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N!

They've gone into the "attack the attacker" well WAY to often...

[0rganism]

2. "who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things"

Like invading Iraq?

This republican projection phenom is getting waaaay out of hand.

[marmar]

11. Loud AMEN!

Unbelievable hypocrisy. These people have no shame.

:puke: :wtf:

[0rganism]

29. God has tapped us to point out their rabid hypocrisy

What amazes me additionally is that this kind of propaganda actually works! Seriously, they wouldn't spend time or money on it if it didn't have some desirable (to them) effect.

:crazy:

[Inland]

37. Projection, indeed.

Kerry gamed the system to get out of vietnam, and Fitzgerald is an evil moralist who thinks he works for God.

[yellowcanine]

3. "White House ally "describes Bush, "He's a vile, detestable, moralistic

person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things,"

[twaddler01]

9. Perfect description

:)

[underpants]

16. I know that justice isn't really blind but spin vs. the law is funny

When you throw their spin up against the supposedly blank white wall that justice represents it looks more absurd than it normally does.

For those of us who see it everyday (and are at least a bit anesthetised to it) this is stark but imagine if people who usually don't pay any attention see it.

*WHAM*

If they keep this up (all this is ASSuming that there will be indictments) during the trial it should add to the fun of watching.

:popcorn:

4. Also,

he hates America and has WMD's in his basement.

[Chiyo-chichi]

12. and if he brings indictments...

the terrorists win.

[maximovich]

5. Really Corney Isn't It

This tactic is part of the reason Bush's #'s have tanked. Keep up the great work GOP. Flaunt your connection to the media.

[melody]

6. Why is it Bush always criticizes others with the very words I use for him?

And that goes for his flying monkeys, too.

[formercia]

7. Take out moralistic and it describes Fearless Leader

At least he called Fitz moralistic. Just like the word Liberal has been given a negative connotation, moralistic will be portrayed as a vice.

[movonne]

8. Looks like they are going to pull a DeLay defense...smear the

messes ager..

[notadmblnd]

28. do they only have one play in their playbook

geesh, my 12 year old can cover his butt better than they can.

[demgrrrll]

10. Geezy Pete.........Project much? Awareness is not part of the Bushbot

mentality. They are really something else.

[Debi]

13. Wonder how long it will be before the IRS does an audit...n/t

14. Good associated article:

15. "He's a vile, detestable...

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things,"


And and...He has bad breath and his momma dresses him funny!

Jaysus, can we get more childish here? Attack the messanger mode on high! MAN YOUR POSTS!

:rofl: Can we smell the desparation in the crisp fall air?

[Brooklyn Michael]

17. A special prosecutor expanded his investigation?!?!?!?!?

"Fitzgerald was first tasked with finding the Plame leaker, but his mandate expanded to include counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, intimidation of witnesses or destruction of evidence, should anyone undermine his probe."

Oh....oh.....god....I can hear them now, the conservatives crying...

WAAAHHHHH!!!!!

All I can say to them is....suck it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Jeeeeez-us

That's not very nice....

:evilgrin:

[ananda]

19. Reeptile lawyers play the same game..

Attack the prosecutor! That's what de Guerin is doing for DeLay as well, you know, attacking the pristine Ronnie Earle and the judge, and even Austin, Texas, with the big talking point being that it's the last Democratic bastion in Texas.

I live in a puky state.

23. DeLay, Saddam demand new judges

[nookiemonster]

45. "I live in a puky state."

Bullshit. Texas is a blue state. It's just been manipulated.

:)

[Straight Shooter]

52. You don't live in a pukey state

You live in a state that's being rum amok by pukes ;)

[smoogatz]

20. The intensity of the first wave of attacks is a good sign

that indictments--serious and several--are on the way. Rule of law, baby--rule of law.

[Rose Siding]

21. Too bad for them about all the Fitz profile pieces

They all used words like "exacting and apolitical" fair, nonpartisan and unbiased.

Damn that liberal media! ;)

[Rose Siding]

48. Here's a new one -from Reuters- calling Fitz "incorruptable"

Prosecutor in CIA leak case seen as incorruptible

[neuvocat]

22. Wha-wha-wha-wha-whaaaat???

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things,"

The GOP is losing its sanity more and more every day.

[Ian_rd]

24. I can't believe it took them this long to attack him (nt)

[DBoon]

25. Have they no shame?

nt

[Demobrat]

26. Notice what they don't say.

That they are innocent.

[BiggJawn]

27. "Overzealous"...Same thing they said about Ronnie Earl...

Hey, c'mon you babboons, think of some DIFFERENT epithets to hurl?

Hmmmm?

[C_U_L8R]

30. OMG I thought this was a spoof article

The petty spite of the reich has become such a joke
I thought for sure that this article was satire.
Even Bush's quote sounded overly idiotic and cliched.
This just had to be from the Onion or some other pranksters.
But.... I had to click the link to prove it to myself. And Whoa !
Yup it's real alright. How fckd up is that ?????

These Bush sycophants really do deserve
to be in jail for a very long time... followed
up by a good slow roasting in hell. Pathetic.

Jeez.

[Peace Patriot]

35. Yeah, me, too. I read it through twice, then started reading the thread,

still thinking it has to be a hoax. Nope. They actually said that. Well, there's one thing about the Bushites--when they are not slaughering and torturing people and looting us blind, they can be pretty funny.

-------

Na-a-a-aw! They didn't say that. Come on. Still can't quite believe it. No, no, no...

[ladjf]

31. I believe that their remarks about Fitz were actually referring

to Bush.

[Fovea]

32. I'd expect more effective prose

from road kill. These Bastids have their backs against the moving wall and thier choices are devolving to the pit or the sharp, swinging thang.

This is the best shot they have?
Man.

[distantearlywarning]

33. I'm surprised we're just seeing this now.

I would have expected this tactic months ago.

And to all lurking freepers, I have this to say.

*yawn*

This kind of stupid crap has lost it's effectiveness at this point because it's been totally overdone for the last 5 years and is also irrelevant when it comes to the law. You and Limpballs can spin it until you've dug a spiral hole to China but it won't keep KKKarl, Delay, Libby, Cheney or whoever else out of jail. Good luck with that this time.

[silvermachine]

34. The Breck girl...

...Hutchison is one of the dimmest bulbs in the Senate.

Boys had better beware
It could seem a wasted affair
And like a bitch you already spent
All the dough you promised your friends
And it's a cool pad if you care
For all the other boys caught in your bleach job hair
And girls had better beware
boys, you better, you better

36. I thought moralistic was a good thing

No wonder the Bushies are character assassinating him.

He's everything they're not.

[punpirate]

41. Not quite...

... "moral" would be a description of someone with morals. "Moralistic" is a description of someone always chiding others for their lack of them. Fits Bush pretty well, actually. Even more a case of projection.

[lovuian]

38. Pretty soon he will be satan and the Antichrist!!!

Its the old story!!! Attack Attack Attack!!!

with the help of the press!!!

[No Exit]

39. Oh, yeah? At least God didn't "tap" him to invade Iraq!! n/t

[laylah]

40. Hypocritical

jackasses! It never ceases to amaze me how they wish to rewrite history and hope the masses forget how they terrorized Clinton for 8 years...over lying about a freakin' BLOW JOB...HELLLLLLLLLLO! I yearn to see the lot of them rot in hell for what they have done to this country! :mad: REALLY :mad:

[truthisfreedom]

42. somebody call a fu&^ing go&*amned WAHHHMBULANCE!

and get these f&*^ers the hell out of here.

[tulsakatz]

43. they're just trying their typical slimeball tacticx........

........and in the end, it won't have an effect on Fitzgerald's decision. He is still going to be determined to follow the letter of the law.

I heard someone talk about him last week, I think it was on Hardball, but anyway this person said that Fitzgerald understands that many people may not like his decisions. For a prosecuter, it's typical that many people may not like him due to his actions and decisions. But that has never stopped him from making some difficult decisions regarding other powerful politicians and also terrorists.

[nookiemonster]

44. Right on time.

Expected...

[AndyTiedye]

46. Sounds More Like a Description of our "Dear Leader"

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things,"

[UpInArms]

47. this is truly one of the MOs of this administration

that attempts to give them "cover". *Co comes out and says one thing so that it does not appear that they are orchestrating the "whisper campaign" that spreads over all the corporate whoring media.

[peacetalksforall]

49. You see how they do it? Role playing against and off each other.

This time Bush is the judicious one and the slime comes out anonymously. Peaches are 2 x 4's. Apples are bricks. The morning is night.

This little gimmick was one of their blatantly transparent jobs. Creating dis-reality. Except their dis-realtiy isn't working so well anymore unless you are one of their followers and swallowers.

[JerseygirlCT]

50. Who does this sound like?

"He's a vile, detestable, moralistic person with no heart and no conscience who believes he's been tapped by God to do very important things"

Yeah, I thought so, too.
